Big Shift in Relative Strength
Big change in relative strength over the last few weeks.
For weeks/months, the clear leadership across the major indexes has been the Nasdaq 100, Nasdaq 100 equal weight, Russell 2000 growth, and IWM.
Sector leadership has also been obvious: XLK technology has dominated, with semiconductors leading this Stage 2 uptrend since the March 30th lows. That strength has been followed by other tech-related groups like computer hardware, electrical equipment, software, and other growth areas.
But this week, the shift is much clearer.
Now the leadership is coming from:
• IWM, Russell 2000
• IWN, Russell 2000 Value
• MDY, S&P 400 Mid Caps
• DIA, Dow Jones
On the sector side, XLV healthcare is leading, followed by financials, industrials, and utilities.
Under the surface, the strength is showing up in healthcare providers, pharmaceuticals, homebuilders, biotech, insurance, and banks.
This has been building for a few weeks, but this week is the clearest rotation we’ve seen.

It should be out soon.
